Not sure if the long name is an error stopping anything or just a
notice, the following error "Could not connect to the JACK server"
would be why nothing works.

To use a usb midi keyboard I use -

jackd --no-realtime -d oss &
jack_umidi -C /dev/umidi0.0 -B

The "&" for jackd and "-B" for jack_umidi put them in the background so
you can close your terminal and they keep running.

Here is a script I use to automate it -
