okay i found a way to fix this issue.  
due to my kibana installation, there is no log folder.  
in ubuntu, the location should be on /var/log/kibana

then i create it mannually, i give chmod 777.  
and then inside the folder, i also create two files.  
kibana.stdout and kibana.stderr

i also change the user, from root to kibana.

and it work perfectly well.

thank you
