Could anyone with access to a computer with a camera device please:

  1. Download a nightly build from the experimental branch:
     http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_experimental/
  2. Test monkeyscan's QR code scanning
  3. If #2 fails, check whether the camera is supported by Cheese.
  4. Report back on the ticket (#6515) or to these mailing-lists.
     If #2 failed, it would be helpful to include detailed information
     about the camera hardware.


Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
