If you have experience of working on the command line in Ubuntu then you are probably familiar with the sudo command, whenever you run the sudo command as a non root user then the system prompts you to enter the administrator’s password. This is a seriously annoying process.
Here is a simple tip to remove the requirement to type your password each time you use sudo.
Ok, so the next thing we're going to do is become root. Type:
$sudo su -l
Then type:
$visudo
Scroll down the line:
%admin ALL=(ALL): ALL
And change it to
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
And save and exit with Ctrl+o and Ctrl+x.
This will be literally saving your time and increase productivity.
