Say you want to change the character_set or collation of a MariaDB (MySQL) DB:
ALTER DATABASE databasename CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
I see this fairly often when I have done fast installs of ubuntu:
"Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed."
What happens is I ignore the install script that needs to run for PhpMyAdmin to establish its database etc.
Happily the fix is fairly easy - just run the script again now:sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
I am surprised that there have been no updates to the webmin interface to support the new samba version (that has been rolled out to most major linux distros now) -- am I the only one that has been using webmin to do my admin on samba servers ? I think NOT...
Anyway - here is a quick and dirty fix to the start/stop entries in the webmin samba module to correct it for Version 4:
Command to stop Samba servers
service smbd stop && service nmbd stop
Command to start Samba servers
service smbd start && service nmbd start
Beware people (like me) who offer solutions (like this)...
That said, here is how I have (several times) repaired this error on my HTC EVO 4G LTE.
(it's a Sprint phone, but I think these issues are across all of the telcos)
On your KEYPAD, type this:
Polymer looks like it may be very cool -

I was excited to find this, so I am saving it here.
To change an smb passwd in a bash script:
echo -e "newpasswd\nnewpasswd" | (smbpasswd -s username)
And note the "\n" in there to push a newline between the two passwords...
For the unix (Linux) username:
echo -e "newpass\nnewpass" | (passwd --stdin username)
Drush has developed a huge cult following for it's ease of use in maintaining multiple drupal based sites very easily from the CLI. I cannot recommend drush highly enough - I can update the code for all of my sites in a few minutes - back in the gory days it would take me ages to do that... These steps worked flawlessly for me on Ubuntu 14.04 today.

Any errors running "add-apt-repository" on Ubuntu 12.04, will probably mean that you need to install the "python-software-properties" package with the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
