I had the same problem with the latest Lampp with MariaDB on Ubuntu Server 14.04, and @iceberg's solution worked very well:
You just change the following line in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
$ Cfg ['Servers'] [$ i] ['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma_table_uiprefs';
to
$ cfg ['Servers'] [$ i] ['pma__table_uiprefs'] = 'pma__table_uiprefs';
And restart the apache server with the command,
sudo service apache2 restart
Lampp config.inc.php is located in /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and for it to work, I also needed to change
$ cfg ['Servers'] [$ i] ['tracking'] = 'pma__tracking';
to
$ cfg ['Servers'] [$ i] ['pma__tracking'] = 'pma__tracking';
and restart the lamp:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
