Bug#737809: ntfs-config: New partition dialog irresponsive

[Alad Wenter <the.changing.side@gmail.com>]

Package: ntfs-config
Version: 1.0.1-10
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Connecting an NTFS drive not present in /etc/fstab causes a "New partition"
dialogue to appear. Clicking on either option (automatic configuration 
or "ok")
has no effect.

This is caused by the following error:

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/NtfsConfig/AddWizard.py", line 159, in
on_auto_clicked
    self.auto_configure()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/NtfsConfig/AddWizard.py", line 168, in
auto_configure
    self.disk.savelog()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/NtfsConfig/Fstab/FstabHandler.py", 
line
522, in savelog
    self._logconf.add_section(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 260, in add_section
    if section.lower() == "default":
AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'lower'

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

An Ubuntu bug report includes a working patch:

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The "New partition" dialogue works as expected.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

N/A
