in order to get rid of geoip err I tried

> [@How to disable geoip usage in 7.14.0](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-disable-geoip-usage-in-7-14-0/281076/8):
>
> Same for me after Update from 7.13.4. Saw the Log entry after the update start... found ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled: false but with no luck the "false" will be ignored

```auto
PUT _cluster/settings
{
    "persistent": {
       "ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled": false
    }
}

```

but it seems does not help  
the err message dissapeared

there is no ERR message is elasticsearch.log anymore  
the only err I receive is

```auto

Jul 30 11:45:04 tode01prahkz systemd[1]: Got notification message from PID 1147, but reception only permitted for main PID 1080
Jul 30 11:47:49 tode01prahkz systemd[1]: elasticsearch.service start operation timed out. Terminating.
