After having tried unsuccessfully to install either guvcview or cheese on Linux Lite 3.8, I installed Camorama this morning, and it works!
See earlier posts in this thread for terminal output errors when trying to run guvcview or cheese. Further info on the cheese install: When I run cheese in the terminal I get the following error:
However, since I've now found that Camorama works, I'm not going to look further into why the other two apps don't work on LL 3.8.
Note that both my webcams (I use one or the other) are inexpensive (< $10), purchased from either Amazon or Wilko in the UK. I know that the Wilko one is branded Texet. The other is an A4Tech device.
Final comment (I've said this before), guvcview works fine on LL 2.6.
