Why are you trying to type ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase?

This window is, in fact, running ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase for you.
You're looking at the passphrase prompt from ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase.

You should be entering your system login passphrase. When you do so
correctly, ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase will then print your randomly
generated mount passphrase to screen.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

On ubuntu after the desktop appears for the first time you get a popup window that asks you to record your encrypted passphrase.

If you click on run this action now you get a terminal window appear with the word "passphrase:" in it.  However when you try to type in ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase at this prompt no test is shown.  When you hit return after typing it in the terminal window just closes.
