Hi Team,

I am facing a GLIBC library issue while installing Lens Desktop on my laptop. I have tried installing K8s Lens on my Ubuntu machine using both the `.deb` package and the AppImage method, but I’m encountering the same error in both case.

I have used this link to download K8 lens: [https://docs.k8slens.dev/getting-started/install-lens/#install-lens-desktop-from-the-apt-repository](https://docs.k8slens.dev/getting-started/install-lens/#install-lens-desktop-from-the-apt-repository)

**OS** : Ubuntu 20

**Error** :
