Was /run/user/1000 created?
This should have been created by systemd itself...
Found this: https://www.nomachine.com/TR01L04202 - does this workaround fix the problem?
Did you update to systemd recently, when did it break?

I'm in a fresh installation, it's not an update
the problem is strange, if I start gdm and I log with the luna80 user all works fine but not if try to launch directly startx from luna80 (that is what I need)

Maybe it's an issue of launching it from the terminal without systemd, whose logind takes care of the /run/user stuff for you? If you don't use systemd, you'd probably need to take care of all that yourself. Or just use a login manager, as it's more secure anyway.

I think there's something wrong with the OP's logind, it was mentioned that systemd was being used. I figure a console session somehow wasn't created by login and thus subsequent directory is not created.
I should see if I can reproduce this behavior on a working systemd box that has console working... my main systemd machine's fglrx causes a lot of problems and can't use the console (ctrl-alt-fX) once graphics mode gets initialized...
EDIT
I tried playing with my systemd box that has gdm working.
If I login from the console by ctrl-alt-f1 to it before logging in via gdm, I still see a /run/user/xxxx directory created and owned by xxxx. This is also created by logging in through gdm.
A session is shown by "loginctl" by either method of login. Do you see different login sessions created?
