I finded the error! o/ I was erroneously editing the file .bash_logout located inside my Home /home/ati/

Gitlab when installing gitlab-runner create a Home for him in /home/gitlab-runner/

I just had to comment on the contents of the /home/gitlab-runner/.bash_logout file for the job to work.

Did you check these?

Debian users should use APT pinning, because a native package called gitlab-ci-multi-runner is available in Debian Stretch and by default, when installing gitlab-runner, that package from the official repositories will have a higher priority.
Also, be sure to disable SKEL when installing GitLab Runner: set the environment variable GITLAB_RUNNER_DISABLE_SKEL to true before you install the package.

For details on both, see https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html#apt-pinning
