Boot up a live ISO image and copy it here or upload to a pastebin and share the link.
But Devuan IS the live USB image. Remember what I said: XFCE4 (or rather Xorg) won't launch, and the installer is on the desktop. You can launch it from the terminal but I don't know how continuing installation can fix anything. Tho I already lost all my data so trying wouldn't hurt I guess.

Do you have the right graphic driver installed?
I don't have anything installed not even the OS. I can't launch installer as desktop isn't working and I don't think continuing the installation would fix anything.

I don't know how can I give you all of the log. Currently my PC can't connect to internet and there is no desktop, I can't write it as text because it is very long and I'm currently on a tablet which isn't efficent. Also I can't figure out how to post pictures from the tablet itself. Would doing a netinstall work?

I typed startx and gave the same error. I'll post the end of log later as it is a bit long.

So today I decided to migrate my Debian 10 install to Devuan 3.0.0. However wicd for some reason didn't work and after a while of sitting idle system always threw a black screen and because of that I wasn't able to finish the migration. So I decided to install Devuan from a usb while backing up my home partition. However while OS itself boots, xfce4 doesn't launch and OS isntead enters to a terminal envoriment and when I type startxfce4 it throws this error:
Fatal Server error:
(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all frame buffer devices.
(EE)
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: Giving up.
