Ubuntu

authorization prompt are excessive and there is no way to dismiss them forever

Asked by ndv

I cannot stop the authorization mechanism from bothering me. this is not windows vista, this is linux and the way i'd like to use it is just without typing a password every time I mount a disk or shutdown my pc.
please give me a toggle that DISABLE FOREVER THIS MADDNESS.
I don't care about a super secure pc.
I have backups.
I have my user listed in suduers as nopasswd because I JUST WANT TO ACCEPT THE RISK OF BEING CRACKED IN EXCHANGE OF A USABLE OPERATING SYSTEM.

please tell me how to get rid of "Authorizations" or develop a big red button to disable it.

thanks

If your user is set up with nopasswd properly, it won't ask for authorization anymore. Check your sudoers again, and make sure your user is not a member of any group listed in sudoers. (First matching line sudo hits takes precedence)

I wish to not have password request, but do not have a clue how to set up nopasswd properly. I will start a search but kindly ask for any guidance. Thanx
