adafuit-pitft.py fails when using Dietpi linux distro

[Aesop7]

Script Command

sudo -E env PATH=$PATH python3 adafruit-pitft.py --display=35r --rotation=90 --install-type=fbcp

Operating System

32bit DietPi v9.6.1

Hardware

Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2

Behavior

Errors about "is_wayland" Currently installing, can edit this with precise errors afterward.

Description

After doing some digging I discovered that the issue is with this line: output = shell.run_command("loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep $(whoami) | awk '{print $1}') -p Type | grep wayland", suppress_message=True, return_output=True, run_as_user=username).strip()

It appears that DietPi doesn't include loginctl. I'm able to bypass the check by manually editing the script to hard code it to "x11".

It would be great if I was able to bypass detection, maybe by passing an argument when running the script e.g. sudo -E env PATH=$PATH python3 adafruit-pitft.py --display=35r --display-manager=x11 --rotation=90 --install-type=fbcp

Cheers!

Thanks. I found a possible alternative pgrep wayfire, which searches the processes. That may be an option that works on dietpi.
