I've have Ubuntu 15.04 on my laptop and just about everything I do requires me to enter my password.
What do I have to do so I don't have to keep entering my password?

2Well, howdy Jim, pleasure to meetcha! Could you [edit] your question and show us a specific example of what you're trying to do which requires a password? Is this in the command line? In the pretty windows? – terdon Sep 17 '15 at 22:54

Well you can disable entering a password when using `sudo`, but as far as I know there is no way to get rid of say the Ubuntu Software Center asking you for a password. – TheWanderer Sep 17 '15 at 22:59

To remove password prompts for commands/apps using sudo:
sudo adduser (your user name) sudo
sudo visudo
Change:
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
to
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
Exit visudo- Ctrl+x, y, Enter
Run:
sudo service sudo restart
To remove password prompts for some graphical applications that use policy kit, not sudo see https://askubuntu.com/a/614537/115816.
Done. Bad idea, but there.

1But then you refer to that in your answer. Don't just answer part of it. – TheWanderer Sep 17 '15 at 23:13
