I’m not able to connect because of WiFi has the self assigned IP address.

Yes it does. I went into my network and it says that WiFi has the self assigned IP address and will not connect to the internet.
Try this. Go to the location on your disk as shown in the screenshot, and delete the selected files. Restart, and see if that helps. Also, when the computer restarts, take turns to reset NVRAM and SMC while you are at it.
Also, if this does not help, see this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
If this resolves your issue, it means some app configuration is interfering with the computer's connectivity to the internet. It might be time to do a clean install again, if you do not want to spend an uncertain amount of time diagnosing the issue.

Hey y'all, I just want to say thank you for those of you that tried to help me with the issue that i had not been able to connect to WIFI. After all the reseting that was done, I reset the eero and my MB Air is connecting like a champ. Thanks again!!
I don't know if this is a Catalina bug or some other issue - but when I exported my Inbox (Apple Mail/iCloud) to back it up, and then imported it back as a test, a lot of messages were missing. And the mbox file had "partial" in its name. This occurred after I rebuilt the mailbox.

I have the same problem. The exact same apps you mentioned end up outside of the Other folder.
Edit: What these apps have in common is that they are not located in
/System/Applications/Utilities like the others but in /System/Applications instead. Maybe a reboot triggers something in Launchpad that causes it to lose track of these applications and then puts them in a different location.

Which device are you on?
I have found one potential fix. Instead of resetting launchpad which would momentarily resolve the issue but have no longterm effect since the issue resurfaces again after a couple of restarts, I just put the apps in the Other folder manually in Launchpad the last time they spilled out, and so far, they are yet to spill out again after a few days worth of daily restarts - I shut the computer off every night.
Hi, I’m not sure if someone has already talked about it, but there’s a bug on macOS 10.15.2 where, with the appearance set to automatic, when it has to turn into dark mode, it just fails to change the appearance and the wallpaper disappear, leaving the desktop with a black background and the light theme. Instead of changing to dark mode.

Has anyone else experienced this? This is an installation from scratch of macOS 10.15.2, with APFS (encrypted) and Filevault activated.
Going to sleep and waking up again solves it until the next day, when it has to transition again from the Light to the Dark side.

Which Mac is this on? On my 2017 MBA, I need to have Night Shift enabled for the transition to occur automatically.
I don’t use Night Shift, but this is the Mac mini of my signature, a 2014 Mac mini @ 2,6GHz and Iris Graphics 5100.
I’ll try that just, you know, for science.Try switching Night Shift on and see if that resolves it.
Having an odd bug (I think it's a bug). The iCloud Drive on the iMac has been "uploading" for about a week now. No new files, and it's stuck at the very end (currently 15.8 MB uploading of 15.8 MB; the amount changes tho, sometimes it's 5.6MB, sometimes 1MB, but it never completes it). I've tried logging out of iCloud Drive, restarting the computer, restarting the wifi. Still no luck. Manually pressing X to cancel it or suspend it doesn't work (X is not a clickable button somehow).
It's not actively causing a problem, really, but the little round progress pie bar has been stuck on that for days now, so any ideas?
EDIT: also to add, I'm not having the same problem on my MacBook Pro running Mojave.

@macintoshmac I think I know what’s causing the issue when changing to Dark mode: KeepingYouAwake, the app inspired on Caffeine. Each time I have it not only open but active to prevent my Mac going to sleep, I get that black wallpaper. Each time I deactivate it (even with the app open), it doesn’t happen.
Does anyone know how can I contact the developer of KeepingYouAwake? I haven’t seen anything on the GitHub webpage.

Brand new install on a 2018 Mac mini and I can vouch that Automatic Dark Mode doesn't work. It's always set to Light Mode even with Location turned on.
You may need to enable Night Shift.

You will need a GitHub account. Then, you can visit the developer's page (https://github.com/newmarcel/KeepingYouAwake/issues) and click on New Issue to register your issue.
Why should that make a difference? Night Shift is off and it's now 3am and Dark Mode (Auto) works but it didn't after 10pm, strange. And doesn't Night Shift also use "Location" when setting it from Sunrise to Sunset?You may need to enable Night Shift.
Automatic Dark Mode works without Night Shift for you? It does not for me on my MacBook Air 2017. Strange indeed.
Actually Automatic Dark Mode is working at 3am EST with or without Night Shift turned on or off. But Auto DM, wasn't working at 10pm EST with or without Night Shift. So yeah, strange indeed.
