Hi all,
My Lens starts shows black screen without any menus on it after launch.
Preferences does not work too, only About window shows.
Version: 2026.2.111511-latest
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
I tried to remove /.k8slens/ directory, clean up ~/.kube/config file, reinstall app - nothing helps.
Hello @mykhailo.levandovsky, Thank you for reaching out! We have received your request and get back to you as soon as we have some info.
Hello @mykhailo.levandovsky,
A few things that could help us investigate:
1. Logs: Could you share the Lens log files? You can find them at ~/.config/Lens/logs/. The main.log and any renderer-*.log files from the time of the issue would be most helpful.
2. GPU acceleration: This could be a GPU/rendering issue on Linux. Could you try launching Lens with GPU acceleration disabled?
lens --disable-gpu
2. Or alternatively:
lens --use-gl=egl
3. Display server: Are you using X11 or Wayland?
4. Fresh install: Since you’ve already tried removing ~/.k8slens/, could you also try removing ~/.config/Lens/ completely and restarting?
This will help us understand whether this is a rendering/GPU issue specific to your Linux setup or a broader regression.
