Hi all,  
i get this error msg when i start the elasticsearch service in my ubuntu looking for the proper solution  
am using stable version see below  
echo "deb [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt) stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list  
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.  
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can you share the output of the commands you mentioned in a gist/pastebin?
