Describe the bug
If the k8s config.yml is owned by root, k9s will throw Boom!! runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference. because this check doesn't check for os.IsPermission, so f will be nil.

Logs:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. chown your k8s config.yml to root
  2. run k9s

Expected behavior
I think in this case, a helpful error message would be desired, instead of a panic.
Can also suggest something like run k9s with sudo, or chown your config or something.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • OS: OSX
  • K9s: v0.31.9
  • K8s:
    Client Version: v1.27.2
    Kustomize Version: v5.0.1
    Server Version: v1.28.5-eks-5e0fdde
