The date in the server and in the client is the same

You have tried resetting the encryption, right? I have to ask the dumb questions.

[Fernando Gietz]

Yes I have reseted the encryption. I will do more test about this.

sudo apt-get autoremove

With these instructions the client woks fine. Thanks!!
