kibana5 and ark > 2.2.1

[1971hemicuda]

We had ark=v3.1.0 installed on our chef server. When running chef-client we would always receive the error below.

We had to down grade to ark=v2.2.1 and now this installs. Might want to check it out

Hi @1971hemicuda I don't see how this is connected to ark cookbook. Maybe you were using older version of kibana cookbook, and home folder for user was changed?

Hi @1971hemicuda any news there?
