On clear-installed Ubuntu 16.04 x64, with webcam C170 (Logitec) I have same problem with Cheese:
libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image
(cheese:8149): cheese-WARNING **: Failed to allocate a buffer: gstv4l2src.c(851): gst_v4l2src_create (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1
Two years of problem - you're kidding?
