[solved] Corectrl failing to launch because of polkit

So, I am running Sway WM that launches gnome-polkit with the following command "/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &"
It runs well on boot and everything is okay, until the agent crashes whenever I try to launch Corectrl

This is what I get from running Corectrl

[02-05-21 00:29:18.641][W] vulkaninfo command failed
[02-05-21 00:29:18.846][W] No translation found for locale en_GB

[1]  + segmentation fault (core dumped)  /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Permission denied

And this is what I get when I try pkexec corectrl

polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie

Lastly, this is systemd's polkit log:

Thank you very much in advance for trying to help me!

Re: [solved] Corectrl failing to launch because of polkit

Never mind. It seems that Gnome-polkit is built on xorg. KDE-polkit fixes it! Already solved.
