cosmic-greeter.service Fails to start on boot

cosmic-greeter.service Fails to start on boot, cosmic-greeter-daemon.service does not however.

When I do log in and start using cosmic the lock screen also wont respond to input and says "Authentication Failed" In the log in area. I believe these problems are related.

System Details:

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 6.10.10-arch1-1
Cosmic Version: Latest on Arch repos

EDIT: I also tried editing the time before it restarts, did not fix it. Also it's only disabled because I needed to use SDDM instead to actually get into cosmic.

systemctl status cosmic-greeter returns this:

Possibly related to pop-os/cosmic-epoch#1020. Wondering if these issues should be raised against cosmic-greeter repo instead?

Thanks, didn't realize there was one. I'll post there.

I believe the packaging for Arch Linux is missing the cosmic-greeter PAM service and this should be submitted there.
