Cheese (GNOME application) appears to be unable to detect your webcam. Have you installed all necessary firmware for it to operate? Notes regarding required firmware can often be found in dmesg.

something happened or is missing between 13.10 and 14.04
I think you're going to need to provide the make and model of the installed webcam for anyone to be able to help my understanding is that the Kernel usually contains the drivers for webcams (correct?) so possibly the newer kernel dropped support or it's a not installed package or needs to be compiled do you have a copy of Windows on it? if so: 1) does the webcam work in Windows 2) using Control Panel or some utility like Speccy see what the cam make and model is |

Most webcams now are handled by the uvcvideo driver - which should be included in the system.
Can you please provide the output of "lspci -v" and "lsusb -v"? These two commands should be executed as root to ensure their output is complete.
