I found the flaw it's in the wording and also Kubuntu.

With Kubuntu it only opens a standard terminal.  Which means you need to
type in the ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase command.

It may be better if the last line was to read thus:

Please type in you user password to show your ecrypt-passphrase at the
"Passphrase:" prompt or type in ecrpytfs-unwrap-passphrase in a regular
terminal session.

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.
