I *think* that Ubuntu 15.04 still uses Nautilus as the default file 
manager. If so, you should be able to open a Nautilus window, such as to 
your $HOME directory, and click on the gear icon in the upper right 
corner. From there, select Preferences, and in the window that opens, 
select the Behavior tab. In that tab, look for an entry titled 
Executable Text Files, and select Run executable text files when they 
are opened. That should get it to doing what you want.

Long time lurker, hopefully this will be of help to you.
