Why won't Ubuntu give me the passphrase?
So I typed the command:
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase [chamberofthesun]
in order to find the passphrase of the file names chamberofthesun, and it asks for the passphrase. But I do not know it, ergo I put in that command in there to find it.
What am I supposed to do? I do not remember being given a passphrase whatsoever.
Help.

You encrypted a file and want to remove the passphrase? If so I don't think that will be possible that why passphrases are used to make it difficult or impossible to have unauthorized access!
