Answer 1

Just in case anyone has anymore troubles, this is a pretty sure fix.

check your etc/hosts file make sure you have a root user for every host.

i.e.

127.0.0.1   home.dev

localhost   home.dev

Therefore I will have 2 or more users as root for mysql:

root@localhost
root@home.dev

this is how I fixed my problem.
