Firstly, it sounds as if you may have hardware issues, or possibly an
ACPI problem. Adding acpi=off to the kernel line of the appropriate
stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst will disable it on boot. This may or may
not help depending on what the problem actually is.
Secondly, Rosegarden works better on a kernel which is tuned for audio
use (i.e. which includes realtime patches and uses the faster clock
speed). If you're using vanilla ubuntu, I'm not entirely surprised to
hear that some audio applications are sub-optimal. I would have thought
that you'd need to follow the set-up suggested by UbuntuStudio, probably
fairly carefully.
While rolling your own packages is laudable it leaves you rather out on
your own if you encounter problems, these days I recommend sticking with
the available packages from the appropriate multimedia sub-distro for
best results.
Thus:
Ubuntu -> UbuntuStudio
Debian -> 64 Studio
Fedora -> PlanetCCRMA
SUSE -> JAD
and so on.

I took the plunge and upgraded to gutsy, only to discover that there
was still some cruft hanging around from when I tried to install a
home-rolled jack over the packaged one. I thought I'd corrected
everything by reinstalling the packages, but obviously I hadn't.
Anyway, I deleted every jackd and jacklib executable and binary I
could find, then reinstalled those packages, and now Rosegarden seems
to be working fine. Still can't get muse working properly though.
As for the rest of gutsy beta, I'm having suspend and hibernate
problems, but other than that it's working fine at the moment. I am very surprised by this. I use Rosegarden all
the time, and
can't remember the last time it crashed.
What version of Rosegarden did you try? It's up to 1.5 now.
What distro are you using.
It turns out I'm on version 1.4.0, which is what
ships with ubuntu
Feisty. Gutsy, the beta of which came out a few days ago, has
version 1.5.1, but it depends on some kde4 library that isn't in
Feisty so installing it would mean risking messing up a lot of
other stuff. I'm debating whether to risk an upgrade—many who have
done so are happy by the look of it, but a few have had problems—or
struggle on with what I've got for another few weeks. I need a
sequencer pretty badly so I may just hold onto my nostrils and take
the jump.
