Make your filesystem writeable

When uploading an image, you may get read only file system error.
scp: //usr/share/remarkable/suspended.png: Read-only file system

To fix, ssh as root and mount the filesystem as writeable. mount -o remount,rw / Then try uploading your image again.

	dskelly@david-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ssh root@10.11.99.1
	root@10.11.99.1's password:
	root@imx8mm-ferrari:~# mount -o remount,rw /
	root@imx8mm-ferrari:~# exit
	logout
	Connection to 10.11.99.1 closed.

Prepare your image

Download or create the image you want to use as a sleep screen. It should be PNG format and, for best results, RMPP 1620x2160 pixels.

Upload your image

Use the terminal command scp to upload your image.

scp <yourimage> root@<yourip>://usr/share/remarkable/suspended.png

Example:
scp yourimage.png root@192.168.1.34://usr/share/remarkable/suspended.png

Enter your password when prompted.

Remove Carousel Images

reMarkable 3.25 has images that overlay the sleep screen. To prevent this, ssh to your device as before. Then use the following commands to move the overlay images to a backup folder:

	cd /usr/share/remarkable/carousel
	mkdir backup
	mv sleep_Illustration_* backup/
	exit

View your sleep screen

Press the power button to view your sleep screen. You may need to reboot the device with some versions.
