Same problem - neither Cheese or guvcview produce anything.

Same message on Cheese : "There was an error playing video from webcam"

Command line Cheese output:

bipco@qBok:~$ cheese
libv4l2: error turning on stream: Invalid argument

lsusb for webcam: Bus 005 Device 100: ID 046d:081b Logitech, Inc. Webcam C310

Webcam worked out-of-the-box on previous Ubuntu versions.
