I had the following error with cheese:
"libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert:
libjpeg error: End Of Image"

1 [C170 ]: USB-Audio - Webcam C170
Webcam C170 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-2, full speed
This did the trick for me was:
1. (install guvcview using "sudo apt-get install guvcview" and) open guvcview
2. close guvcview
3. then open cheese and the webcam works!
