i also had same problem...we have to find some document telling us how to configure jack and midi system in ubuntu, cause i became a little bit confuse, some programs worked well and some, like my preferred rosegarden i couldn`t make midi plays...and some programs crashed all system, but i think is because the new nvidia driver...maybe not... <div>2007/5/25, <a href="mailto:leyoy@free.fr">leyoy@free.fr</a> <<a href="mailto:leyoy@free.fr">leyoy@free.fr</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> is jack running on your system ? you need also software like timidity or qsynth to play midi.
