Alright so after I run update-initramfs -u , I get that same feedback of WARNING: Setting CRYPTSETUP in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Use /etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook instead. I get this feedback message both running that previous command as well as at the end of the NVidia driver install. I have tried MANY different techniques to make this NVidia Card work and I am just having the hardest time. I have, however, become incredibly proficient at getting nouveau back up and running without rebooting after the nvidia driver doesnt allow my gui to initialize.
