Do you have elogind daemon started?
Command to check: `rc-update | grep elogind`

OpenRC-0.62 introduced user services[1]. It seems like XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 
env var is not set (elogind or systemd should set it automatically).
We can continue resolving this, but if you do not use the user services,
you can just disable this feature by setting rc_autostart_user="NO"
in /etc/rc.conf
