Evenote using Wine does not work on Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I am trying to run Evernote using Wine, but it seems it is not working properly. Although the program launches, I am getting the same GUI where it is not possible to edit my notes:

The problem is that nothing appears where I should be able to edit the note. I hope I can solve this problem because I really need Evernote working on Ubuntu.

Which version of Wine do you have and which version of Evernote do you want to install? — David Foerster, Apr 24 '16 at 22:07
As an alternative you could use [Everpad](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/use-evernote-in-ubuntu-with-everpad). It's old and seems a little abandoned but according to others it still works. — David Foerster, Apr 24 '16 at 22:13

According to the WineHQ database, Internet Explorer 8 may need to be installed through winetricks before the official Evernote application will work properly under Linux: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33338

There is more information about downloading and using winetricks here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks , or you can just use PlayOnLinux (available through the official Ubuntu repositories), which bundles Wine and Winetricks with a nice GUI interface.

Other possible options for a Linux Evernote client include the open-source third-party applications NeverNote and NixNote.

I have installed Internet Explorer 8, but it does work yet. I am having the same interface where I am not able to edit my notes. – lmiguelvargasf May 01 '16 at 14:50
I'm reading that other people are having trouble editing notes with the latest versions of the official evernote client. If you're willing to try a slightly outdated version, here's a link to download Evernote version 5.8 (latest is 5.9): [link](https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/86114-new-evernote-for-windows-5813-ga-update/). I got it from the detailed discussion of EverNote under WINE here: [link](https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/66262-running-evernote-using-wine-on-linux/) – May 01 '16 at 15:20
Otherwise, your choices seem to be between the web interface, a third-party client that works in Linux (like NixNote or NeverNote), or one of Evernote's more linux-friendly competitors. NixNote does have a recent 2.0 beta version that is packaged as a .deb file, though I haven't tried it myself. – May 01 '16 at 15:21
