sudo apt update error: “Release file is not yet valid”

I keep getting this error every time I try to sudo apt update:

I've reset my timezone to UTC, but that didn't work.

I also found a different answer where they said I should try



sudo apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update


but that didn't work either.

I got the same error both times.

    Did you compare your current timestamp against the actual UTC time? Do you dual boot? Have you done a time sync up yet to make sure your computer clock is in sync? If you dual boot, it's possible Windows has altered the system clock (also check the time zone in your desktop settings)

  • I dual boot with Windows 10 home and I just time-synced to make ubuntu use local time. Tried updating again but it's still the exact same error unfortunately. Any ideas?

Tested on ubuntu 18.04 server:




  1. check BIOS date-time, check also the coin cell in the motherboard and replace if needed.

  2. restart. Execute command date to verify that date time is correct.

  3. execute sudo apt update again. Problems are gone.
