GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT PROXY ON ''@'%' TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION

Answer 1

In Ubuntu, mysql is installed by default with a plugin that binds the MySQL root user to the system root user. Therefore, you need to do sudo mysql from the terminal, and then create another user with ALL PRIVILEGES.
