Dashboard stuck at "Checking for updates." with spinner
Permalink
The site is in maintenance mode. When I enter the dashboard to change that, the darkened screen is overlain with a box that spins and says Checking for updates. It never goes away, and blocks my access to the links on the page. Apparently I am one update behind. The site is on a server.
Eventually I get words under the menu bar, one says update, and if I click that, I'm back with checking for updates.

I found a solution: I disabled javascript, reload, and the spinner goes away.
how is that a solution? eventually, you need to turn javascript back on, right?
btw, I now have the same issue after moving a site, upgrading to 5.4.2.2 and then upgrading again to 5.5.2.1.

I too have this same issue and I thought the most recent update would have fixed this... My site is in maintenance mode and after logging into the dashboard it gets stuck with a checking for updates spinner...
The "Solution" below isn't a solution, it is a temporary fix until another 24hrs pass and another update check is made... Same with the "codes" posted in other threads which I tried, removed later, only to have the checking for updates spinner stuck on dashboard in maintenance mode...
Can the developers please provide a solution for this issue? Currently using Version 5.5.2.1 (April 18, 2012)
Thanks!

You can disable it using whitelabelling options in config/site.php.

Could you please elaborate? The page you linked to does not directly address this problem.
Thanks.
Thanks.
This just started the second I turned on Maintenance mode. I am running Version 5.5.2.1
Any further thoughts on how to turn off this feature?

Got the same issue today processing updates on a client's v5.3.3.1, via 5.4.2.2 to 5.5.2.1. Worked around it disabling JavaScript and updating to the latest 5.6.0.1
The latest version is fine again, even with JS turned on.

I think JohntheFish's answer worked for me.
Basically, if I recall correctly, you go to ~/config/site.php and add these two lines:
define('ENABLE_APP_NEWS', false);
define('ENABLE_NEWSFLOW_OVERLAY', false);
These will turn off the request for these feeds, which is what is calling the spinning, I think. If that doesn't work, you can also try disabling the background images in the dashboard, which is ENABLE_CUSTOM_DESIGN, I think, but double-check on JohntheFish's link above.
Hope that works for you.
