"unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" trying to load sample data

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

No messages in the browser console. I get the same failure for all of the sample data sets. These seem to be the relevant kibana logs:

Hi memelet

In order to be able to help you we would need more context about the error you are getting. Which Kibana version are you running? What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Thank you

Sorry, meant to add the details...

es 6.5.3
kibana 6.5.3
readonlyrest_kbn kibana plugin (did not think was being installed when I reported the above)

single node cluster
new install

first login with kibana -- no data indices or index patterns

...
Just created a fresh install of es and kibana without the ror kibana plugin and do not get this error. So the problem seems to be pointing to ror. I'll report on the ror forum.

thanks!
