💡 Remote Desktop / X11 Forwarding is a great idea!

Since you don’t want to go to the physical machine, we can bring the machine’s display to you via SSH.

Here is the exact command you should run on YOUR laptop (where you’re sitting now):

ssh -X lzw@192.168.1.36 "firefox --profile /home/lzw/.openclaw/browser-profiles/openclaw --no-remote"

What this does:

  1. -X: Enables X11 Forwarding (the machine’s window will pop up on your laptop screen).
  2. --profile ...: Tells Firefox to use the specific profile I need for Copilot.
  3. --no-remote: Ensures it opens a new instance even if you have Firefox running on your laptop.

Once the window pops up on your screen:

  1. Go to github.com and log in.
  2. Close the window.
  3. Finish! I’ll have the cookies.

Alternatively, if your terminal supports it, you can use the VNC/Desktop approach if that machine has a desktop environment enabled (I see $DISPLAY is set to :1, which means there is a graphical session running!).

Try the SSH command above first—it’s usually the most “pro” way to do it! 🚀🦊💂‍♂️💻🐚
