zsh: IOT instruction  cast wallet list --all

I only have one wallet freshly created using command cast wallet import hyperliquid_testing --interactive.

If you need more data, ask me, I will try to respond within 48 hours.

Hello,

It appears that this panic is triggered by the ledger lib failing to access your device. This issue may occur on Linux when the libusb/udev permissions are missing.

Hi @b4dg0d, as a side note: please update your installation of Foundryup: https://www.getfoundry.sh/introduction/installation, it is out of date.
