how to change kubectl version in lens? - kubernetes

First I installed lens on my mac, when I try to shell one of the pods, there's message said that I don't have any kubectl installed, so I install kubectl and it works properly.
Now I try to change configmaps but I get an error
kubectl/1.18.20/kubectl not found
When I check the kubectl folder there's 2 kubectl version 1.18.20 and 1.21.
1.21 is the one that I installed before.
How can I move kubectl version that has define in lens (1.18.20) and change it to 1.21 ?
Note:
Lens: 5.2.0-latest.20210908.1
Electron: 12.0.17
Chrome: 89.0.4389.128
Node: 14.16.0

Thanks in advance, sorry for bad English

You can set kubectl path at File -> Preference -> Kubernetes -> PATH TO KUBECTL BINARY. Or you can also check "Download kubectl binaries matching the Kubernetes cluster version", this way Lens will use the same version as your target cluster.
By the way, you should use latest v5.2.5.

Update or use the latest version of kube-prometheus-stack?

Question is: we have some version of kube-prometheus-stack (https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack) for example version 20.0.0. I want to install just version 40.0.0. Based on docs I should install crd's by using kubectl apply -f somecrd. Can I just install version 40.0.0 which is just working and has all of those crd's alteady installed?
Thanks
Update from 20.0.0 to 24.0.0 - always problems with crd
I just want the latest version of kube-prometheus-stack

Integrating GPU Telemetry into Kubernetes

Thanks in advance.
Apparently your Custom Resource Definition creation has finished successfully but its API was not yet available when the installation proceeded with creation of the ServiceMonitor Custom Resource. Running helm install ... command once again should help.

Istio pilot version mismatch. How to upgrade it?

I have upgraded istio from 1.6.0 to 1.6.8. Everything went without problems.
Verification with kubectl get pods -n default -l istio.io/rev={revision} returns that all pods are running by using 1.6.8, but istioctl version returns
client version: 1.6.8
istiod version: 1.6.8
pilot version: 1.6.0
data plane version: 1.6.8 (12 proxies)
Which indicates that pilot is still running on old version. I'm not able to find any information how to upgrade it without reinstalling whole istio.
There is clean 1.6.0 install
istioctl version
client version: 1.6.8
control plane version: 1.6.0
data plane version: 1.6.0 (3 proxies)
There is 1.6.8 after canary install
istioctl version
client version: 1.6.8
pilot version: 1.6.0
istiod version: 1.6.8
data plane version: 1.6.8 (2 proxies), 1.6.0 (7 proxies)
Why does this happen? Because there are 2 versions working, original and canary.
As mentioned here
It was separated from control plane version into 2 parts: pilot version and istiod version.
Btw, it is istio-ingressgateway which uses 1.6.0 in data plane version. It seems intended to update ingress-gateway
I'm not able to find any information how to upgrade it without reinstalling whole istio.
If I understand correct you're not able to upgrade it with this version, the main issue here is that there is no option to delete old control plane, that's already covered in the 1.7 version.
The same thing happened in this tutorial
Workaround for this would be to install version higher than 1.7, then if you check documentation there are steps to Uninstall old control plane and Uninstall canary control plane.

[ERROR KubeletVersion]: the kubelet version is higher than the control plane version

I'm new to kubernetes and I'm setting up my first testing cluster. However, I'll get this error when I set up the master node. But I'm not sure how to fix it.
[ERROR KubeletVersion]: the kubelet version is higher than the control plane version.
This is not a supported version skew and may lead to a malfunctional cluster.
Kubelet version: "1.12.0-rc.1" Control plane version: "1.11.3"
The host is fully patched to the latest levels
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
Many Thanks

I hit the same problem and used the kubeadm option: --kubernetes-version=v1.12.0-rc.1
sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=172.16.0.0/12 --kubernetes-version=v1.12.0-rc.1
I'm using a JVM image that was prepared a few weeks ago and have just updated the packages. Kubeadm, kubectl and kubelet all now return version v1.12.0-rc.1 when asked but when 'kubeadm init' is called it kicks off with the previous version.
[init] using Kubernetes version: v1.11.3
specifying the (control plane) version did the trick.
Install the same version of kubelet & kubeadm
yum -y remove kubelet
yum -y install kubelet-1.11.3-0 kubeadm-1.11.3-0
I'm getting the same error on a clean Centos 7 install after fully updating with yum update, and then applying the instructions from https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/install-kubeadm/ for setup.
Adding the option for --ignore-preflight-errors=KubeletVersion allows the installer to continue but the installation is non-working afterwards.
I was able to remove everything and reinstall matching versions with the following:
yum -y remove kubelet kubeadm kubectl
yum install -y --disableexcludes=kubernetes kubeadm-1.11.3-0.x86_64 kubectl-1.11.3-0.x86_64 kubelet-1.11.3-0.x86_64

Kubernetes1.9.0 kubeadm init - crictl not found in system path

I am setting up kubernetes cluster on a Centos 7 machine, and the kubeadm init command gives me the below warning message.
[init] Using Kubernetes version: v1.9.0
[init] Using Authorization modes: [Node RBAC]
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks.
[WARNING SystemVerification]: docker version is greater than the most recently validated version. Docker version: 17.09.1-ce. Max validated version: 17.03
[WARNING FileExisting-crictl]: crictl not found in system path
How can I fix this crictl not found in system path warning? Do I need to install any additional software?
Yes, you need additional software. crictl is part of the cri-tools repo on github.
At least when I encountered this problem (Dec 20, 2017), cri-tools isn't available on kubernete's package repo, so I had to download source and build it. cri-tools is written in go, so you may need to install golang on your system as well.
I installed crictl with
go get github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-tools/cmd/crictl
If you don have go on your system, you could install crictl from
