Please post full logs. If you don't know what you are looking for, then
your editing might remove important information. Please do the following:
start from a fresh boot, wait until the user manager has exited, and then
get the full boot log with `sudo journalctl -b`, and attach that fully.

This is strange. You don't have XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set automatically?

This is not your uid, so this is not relevant to us.

I get that you are frustrated, but please vent elsewhere. Reading this
doesn't precisely make me want to spend mi little debian time debugging
this issue.
