ubuntustudio freeze and USB midi interface

Hi everybody.

As I would like to try to make music using my pc, a few days ago I tried 
ubuntustudio 9.04 but I had to deinstall it because it kept freezing.. I 
searched the web and found that I'm not alone.. the other posts I found 
about it talked about a buggy kernel.. but I don't know if that is 
really the problem I'm facing.

So.. I decided to start using plain ubuntu with ardour/jack and then, 
when I find I can find my way around with the software and need a more 
efficient platform, try to go back to ubuntustudio, in the hope that in 
the meanwhile a solution will be out.

If somebody would be so kind to try help me, just ask me for the info 
needed in order to analize the problem, and I'll be more than happy to 
provide it.

Anyways, I'm trying to use ardour and jack, but I'm stuck with the midi 
interface that is not seen by jack.. I believe is not seen by the OS.

Any help welcome. Thanks!

Robi
