Unexpected Error on Startup

[mitchgalea]

Hello,

When opening Metashape (this error started a couple of weeks ago), I have been getting this error:
`Unexpected error occurred.
Details: System clock has been set back (-40)
`
This causes Metashape to not be activated, and I cannot activate it manually either. I have done some research and found that it is an issue with License managers where a file somewhere in the filesystem is corrupted or the time of the file has been modified, however I haven't had any luck fixing this. I have tried searching for files modified in both the future and way back in the past and modifying the dates, I have also tried repairing my Ubuntu install, nothing has been successful. I have only noticed errors with Metashape. Other than reinstalling ubuntu does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this error?

Thanks

Mitchell
