protocol. You can set the variable =dotspacemacs-elpa-https= to =nil= in your
dotfile to remove the need to start Emacs with =--insecure== argument.
** How to fix =Symbol's value as variable is void= errors on startup?
If Emacs reports an error that the symbol =closed= or =-= is unbound as a
variable, it is probably because you are using HTTPS to download packages, but
you shouldn't be. Try deleting your packages (the =.emacs.d/elpa= folder), and
restart Emacs without HTTPS to download the packages again. There are two ways
to do this:
- Run Emacs with the =--insecure= command line argument: =emacs --insecure=. You
will have to do this again the next time you update your packages.
- Set the variable =dotspacemacs-elpa-https= to =nil= in your dotfile. This has
the same effect as =--insecure=, but is persistent.
** How to fix =(wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)= errors on startup?
This is most likely caused by a corrupted package archive. Try deleting your
=~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives/= folder and restart Emacs.
** The Spacemacs banner is ugly, what should I do?
Install the default font supported by Spacemacs or choose a fixed width font.
More information in the font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]].

** Typing quickly =fd= takes me out of =insert state=. What is going on?
This is a feature of Spacemacs, enabling you to easily escape from a lot of
situations, like escaping from =insert state= to =normal state=.
