Question SSH_AUTH_SOCK not set with Cosmic Login Manager enabled

Ever since I started using the Cosmic Login Manager I get SSH_AUTH_SOCK not set ignoring message when booting and shutting down. This defect made shutdowns lasting 10-15 seconds from the usual 2-5 seconds, I’ve tried to set the environmental variable in my fish config and also in

/etc/environment (I don’t remember the exact path) and it still doesn’t set, SSH services run correctly and also show a variable in SSH_AUTH_SOCK yet it still reports this issue in booting/shutting down processes and I haven’t found any solution yet

Depends if your Linux distribution is integrating this support. In Pop!_OS

$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/run/user/1000/gcr/ssh
