jackd does not run sufficiently in ubuntu edgy, you need to alter the 
system to make jackd start and run properly:

1.) have you started alsa-seq?

ALSA Sequencer

If you are planning on using MIDI at all, you will want to load the ALSA 
sequencer module.

  sudo modprobe snd-seq

To have your system load it at bootup, you have to add it to the 
/etc/modules file.

  sudo su -c 'echo snd-seq >> /etc/modules'


2) you need a kernel, that has the capabilities needed by jackd. 
Unfortunately these are not provided anymore by the 
Ubuntu-Standardkernel but you can still use edgy if you install the 
"testing"-kernel from ubuntumusique:
