Welcome and Software Boutique are just gray boxes. Grub (dual boot) was a blank as well - until I hit the right shift key. During the upgrade the language switched to something that looked a bit like Greek or Cyrillic. Since I didn't know what it was saying - I just hit enter whenever it paused for input. Was relieved upon reboot to find English. Posted photo in ubuntu MATE support here https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-mate-23-10-testing/26876/11
