Thanks a lot for trying this out!

It seems that monkeysign failed to pick a private key to sign with.
It might be that one needs to either set default-key in gpg.conf,
or use monkeyscan’s --user option. May you please try that?

If it works, then “great”, it means that monkeyscan does work, but one
should report a bug against the package (if not existing yet) for its
poor communication of this failure mode to the user.

If it doesn’t work either, please try monkeysign, so that we know if
the culprit lies in monkeyscan itself, or somewhere lower in
the stack.

Actually, I tried to sign one of your expired key! I think this explain the error above.

Now, I can type in my passphrase but the issue might be that monkeyscan cannot send email:

amnesia@amnesia:~$ monkeyscan

Yes, that’s one of the next blockers for nicely integrating
monkeyscan/monkeysign into Tails: https://bugs.debian.org/732411

But the point of this ticket is only to validate the camera/qrcode thing.

So, may you please retry with the --no-mail option?

It worked well with a second camera and the following option:
monkeyscan —no-mail
After signing the key, I had a big pop-up taking more than the whole screen and I could copy/paste the signature to a text file.

Thanks for testing! I’m now going to request a review’n’merge for Tails 1.2.
