Hi Could you provide some details about the environment you're trying to run Kibana? Also you could try to start with `yarn start --verbose ` to get more details where it's stuck (there should be a message that the server is running) Thx & Best, Matthias ---

Please try to following remove your kibana.yml or rename it to make in inactive. run `yarn es snapshot`, it's downloading and starting ES, then run `yarn start`. This should work. Best, Matthias ---

I try V7.8.0 continue; I run some git command "git init ","git add." "git commit -ms "xx" " next run "yarn kbn bootstrap" ,this step OK next i try to run "yarn start " and visit by browser ，but no andy response, that result the same as v7.4.2; i try to rename kinanba.yml file ,and run "yarn es snapshot" but it seem can't connect to the "[https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json](https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json)" > ERROR FetchError: request to [https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json](https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json) failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 34.64.4.16:443 but very strange ,i use browser to visit the [https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json](https://storage.googleapis.com/kibana-ci-es-snapshots-daily/7.8.0/manifest-latest-verified.json) , it can visit and can download the manifest-latest-verified.json ---

I think i know why; Because when run "yarn start" ,it still download something,like "chromium-312d84c-darwin.zip" and the download speed very very slow,maybe 30--60 minute so the kibana still no ready for visit ,so kibana have no any reponse when visit by browser; when download finished,the kibana can visit; I think it's very unreasonable，maybe can print some info in the console when download something or download all file before run "yarn start"(maybe download when run "yarn kbn bootstrap") ---
