I removed all files and then went through the installation process again.
Just to make sure everything is done correctly.
The one difference is this time I copy/pasted the 'udev rule' in both places.
It seems to work now.
Thank you for being persisitent with your suggestions, Head_on_a_Stick!

@ chris2be8
Thank you, Chris!
This worked!

btw, 'ains' and 'armv' are aliases.

@Head_on_a_Stick
Thank you! Read it, bookmarked it!

@GlennW
Thank you! I rarely use 'synaptic' so will check those lines in '/etc/apt/apt.conf'.
For the record, I looked in '/var/cache/apt/' before writing this post and there were 10-12 packages only (which is far from the number of packages I installed after OS installation) and of course those I mentioned were not there.

p.s. Well...

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
cat: /etc/apt/apt.conf: No such file or directory

thank you, hevidevi!

this not keeping cached packages seems to be the default policy
after removing 'libreoffice' two 'gstreamer' packages and some other related to them packages were removed too
so I had to install them again and again they were labeled as NEW and downloaded again
which means there is no cached packages folder where they can be retrieved from

The following additional packages will be installed:

Need to get 2,085 kB of archives.

this is the only "flaw" I have come across for the two weeks I have been using Devuan
I guess to logic behind this is that everything runs smoothly once you get the system according to your liking (so why keeping cached old packages)

I dont have 'ansible' and cannot install it due to the lack of space.
Besides I am not sure this script works correctly here.

output after display was off i.e. with default frequency

@Head_on_a_Stick

1. followed the instructions in the 'readme' file but it seems they are not adequate

2. 'udev info' and 'udev test' commands got from ubuntu forum when looking for solutions

3. after a reboot got the message

GOTO 'backlight_pwm_rules_end' has no matching label in: '/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-intelpwm.rules'

once into the login window my keyboard did not work

anyway, thank you for the suggestions!

hello everybody!

both 'vim' and 'moc' cannot display cyrillic in 'xfce4-terminal'. for comparison, with 'xterm' and 'tilda' both work fine.

locale

added BG with 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' but the issue is still present  

locale -a

any suggestions are appreciated!
thank you in advance!

p.s.
checking '~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc'  showed 

cat ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | grep Font
FontUseSystem=TRUE
FontAllowBold=FALSE

so, changing the default font solved it

Hello everybody!

Every time the display goes off 'intel_reg write' gets disabled.
Every time have to restart it manually. It' very annoying.

intel_reg write 0x61254 0x07a10232
Warning: register spec not found in '/usr/share/igt-gpu-tools/registers'. Using builtin register spec.

How to make it permanent?

Hello everyone!

I want to change 'xterm' 'bg' and 'fg' colors. Tried several variations but always get the same output

xterm: unable to allocate fg/bg color

Here is what have tried

*background: brown
*background: boldbrown
*background: #FDF6E3
*background: 255 218 185
*background: \033[43m
*BACKGROUND: brown

All of the above with ""
Plus 'black' for 'fg'

What is the right way to change the colors?
