[Bug 36361] Re: Crash on startup when sequencer missing

[oscar]

the same bug here. The solution: load module snd-seq or snd-seq-midi before running noteedit:
sudo modprobe snd-seq-midi
(Dapper is not loading this module by default!)
This will create /dev/snd/seq and noteedit will start without crashing.
Other problem is related in bug #38743
