QRCode popup is not able to open/read from camera (Linux) #242

When I open the QRCode popup and click "Scan" then "Request camera permissions" I get NotFoundError : Requested device not found:

I do not see any errors in the terminal (stdout/stderr) log.

What I'm expecting: I guess I'm expecting to be able to show a QR code to my laptop computer's camera and something will happen (but I'm too new to Agregore to know what! haha).

Strange, I've been able to use it on pop os in the past and via KDE+Arch based environments recently.

What did you use to run Agregore? is this via the .deb? Are other electron apps like discord able to access your camera? Did anything else have the camera open at that point?

As for what it's for, it's so you can load website urls from qr codes. Stuff like IPFS generates links that have dozens of random characters, so instead of typing them manually you can instead show a qr code for the page your're looking at and have another person scan it to load the page on their device.
