      Try setting the date from the internet

      sudo systemctl stop ntp
      sudo ntpdate 2.debian.pool.ntp.org
      
      # Check the date again
      date

            @edgarsv Try installing the ntpdate command with

            sudo apt-get -y install ntpdate
            

            and then retry to set the date.

              I did what you told but the date didn't change saying 8 Jul 15:48:38 ntpdate[1531]: no server suitable for synchronization found

                @edgarsv Try with the well known NIST time server:

                sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov

                  That didn't work either... Is there a way to set by my self? What could the reason for it not founding the servers?

                    @edgarsv You can set the date with timedatectl - see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time#Set_system_clock. But I suspect the problem is that your internet connection is not working correctly, RetroPie would have set the time and date automatically from the internet.

                      Probably easiest to just start with a 4.4 image - Jessie support will be dropped by us in the future anyway.

                          Should I change retropie's version to 4.4? or try to replase raspberry pi zero to raspberry pi 3?

                            Is that the solution for me?
