In Ubuntu Follow these steps:

1. Set bind-address at /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d

Change bind-address = 127.0.0.1 to bind-address = 192.24.805.50 # your IP

2. Grant permission for the remote machine

   mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'@'[remoteip]' IDENTIFIED BY 'anypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;

3. Then try connect from remote machine

   mysql -u root -h 192.24.805.50 -p
