Hi,

I set up most distros I use to sudo without a password as things get quite irritating when I have to continually re-enter my password (yes I know of root session, entered by running `sudo su`, but I often do a fair bit of switching between using root privileges and not so I still get this problem). The way I allow myself to sudo without password on most distros is by:

(1) adding:

Code: Select all

%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


(for Ubuntu-based distros that use the sudo group, instead of the wheel group), or (2) adding :

Code: Select all

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


for non-Ubuntu based distros or, if these fail or are unapplicable, (3) adding:

Code: Select all

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


(where for me username is fusion809) to /etc/sudoers, right after the line:

Code: Select all

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL


or for non-Ubuntu systems:

Code: Select all

%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL


For KDE Neon git unstable neither the %sudo NOPASSWD line, nor the username NOPASSWD line seem to work, it still seems like I have to enter my password. I have even tried commenting out the

Code: Select all

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

line above, yet still I need to enter my password.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton
