ntfs-config crashed with AttributeError in add_section()

I can confirm it happened to me too. Although for me the dialog with the checkbox's seemed to pop-under the but where you select a mount point, weird.

Same thing happened to me today, but beyond the error everything seems to work properly.

Applied settings for first time, no issue. Returned and clicked cancel to a partition I have no desire to enable and application crashed but still allowed me to continue to make changes / apply them.

Same thing as Simon

Here is the error message I get:

{{{

Had the same problem on 12.04, but it did close. Apport stated there was a crash after it seemed to close without problems.

Same thing as in #6

Confirm, same problem on Compaq notebook and with version 12.04 32 bit.

Same as #7. This happened when i opened ntfs-config to mount my windows 7 partition that could not be detected/mounted at boot time.

Same thing here but this happened when I tried to enable write support in NTFS volumes.
In addition, now only sudo can mount the volumes and not user :/

I probably should have mentioned that my patch in comment #12 is for the `precise` branch. The same bug still exists in the `quantal` branch as well.

I apologize, as I'm not familiar with bazaar nor the Ubuntu development process. I simply fixed this bug for my own purposes, and figured I'd share for anyone experiencing the same problem.

ntfs-3g have replaced that outdated package; closing this report.
