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,
