Have you tried adding your user to sudeors?
add this line
<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALLto /etc/sudoers.d/this would give your user sudo privileges.
Also I had the same problem installing devstack and I changed my ubuntu version to 18.04 following openstack documentation and it worked for me.
you may try this:
useradd -s /bin/bash -d /opt/stack -m stack
echo “stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL” | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/stack
