Running Pop OS 19.10,
The client works, but if you try to set Computing preferences and/or look at the Notices, they just have blank windows with no information or options. Any help would be appreciated.

What project(s) do you see this happening on?
This web site ("BOINC" boinc.berkeley.edu) IS NOT A PROJECT - only a message board and has NO computing preferences to set.

You say the client runs, but are you sure about that? Top should show a boinc binary running for that. Because when BOINC manager shows most its windows and options as empty, this usually indicates that the client has crashed and is no longer running.

No, I've seen the behavior myself too in Linux.
It will correct itself over time.
You can still manually enter projects, when you insert their at-home homepage.

It's probably the manager not interfacing correctly with the client.
