TigerVNC provides the levels of performance necessary to run 3D and video applications, and it attempts to maintain a common look and feel and re-use components, where possible, across the various platforms that it supports. TigerVNC also provides extensions for advanced authentication methods and TLS encryption. Please note that, like other Cygwin graphical applications, these packages are X11-based. That means the client requires a running X server in order to start, and the server will allow accessing X programs or even entire X sessions remotely but not your Windows desktop.

Nope!
The installer is downloaded from a TLS enabled web site.
The installer manifest contains a public key, so the build
or at least the manifest is signed with a private key.
There are detached GPG signatures for the installer programs

installing dask python (psutils problem)
Ken, thanks for the answer. psutil is a dependency of a dependency. Thus not so easily disabled (I had already looked at it). In the end I ran py.test as instructed in the tutorial for dask but with verbose. Then it 'core dumped' when dealing with h5py (verbose enabled me to track the precise error). I ran it after this command: pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall h5py And the installation and tests went smoothly. Probably the package should require an upper version of h5py. Everything seems normal now. The solution is here if anyone gets stuck in the same error.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.6.0-0.8
Hi folks,
I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.0-0.8.
The new locale stuff has been folded into the master branch. This
version adds the GNU-specific locale functions for converting strings to
numbers
...AND...
...hopefully...
fixes the problem introduced with 2.6.0-0.7, see
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00250.html and
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00252.html
===
The 2.6.0 release is going to introducing the locale_t datatype, as well
as all functions related to locale_t locales and per-thread locales per
POSIX-1.2008.
So, rather than just providing a single, per-process locale, you can now
create new locales ("newlocale") and set it as locale for the current
thread ("uselocale") or use it directly with one of the new functions
taking a locale_t as parameter (i.e. isalpha_l).
The full list of new interfaces is:
newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale
isalnum_l, isalpha_l, isascii_l, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l,
isgraph_l, islower_l, isprint_l, ispunct_l, isspace_l, isupper_l,
iswalnum_l, iswalpha_l, iswblank_l, iswcntrl_l, iswctype_l,
iswdigit_l, iswgraph_l, iswlower_l, iswprint_l, iswpunct_l,
iswspace_l, iswupper_l, iswxdigit_l, isxdigit_l
toascii_l, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l,
wctrans_l, wctype_l
strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l
wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l
strfmon_l, strftime_l
strtol_l, stroll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l
strtod_l, strtofl, strtold_l
wcstol_l, wcsoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l
wcstod_l, wcstofl, wcstold_l
===
Since this is brand-new code, this code *will* have bugs.
It would be very helpful if interested developers and Cygwin package
maintainers could give this new stuff some good testing.
Other than that:
===
What changed:
-
- Drop support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2.
- Drop support for very old SUNWNFS filesystem.
- Further header file improvements in terms of feature test macros.
- Raise number of supported partitions per disk (for raw access) to 63.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-06/msg00136.html
- Add a workaround for filesystems not supporting the FileAllInformation
info class.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00350.html
- "nobody" account support for WinFSP.
Bug Fixes
-
- Make sure ldd(1) does not exit prematurely when enumerating DLLs.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-05/msg00185.html
- Fix strace timer output in child process.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00067.html
- Change blkcnt_t to signed type per POSIX.
- Fix definition of SSIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00179.html
- Fix transposing invalid chars in Windows filenames on relative paths.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00193.html
- Don't raise SIGTTIN from select(2)/poll(2).
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2016-07/msg4.html
- Fix truncl which was using the wrong FPU rounding mode.
Addresses: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128665
- Fix a regression in ioctl(fd, FIONREAD, ...) introduced in Cygwin 2.5.0.
This only affects 64 bit Cygwin.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg1.html
- Handle "clear screen" escpae sequence in console window more reliable.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00310.html
- Allow kill(pid, ) on zombies to return successfully, rather than
only kill(pid, 0), to align behaviour with POSIX requirements.

Autorebase errors; mintty won't launch
I installed the latest test version of Cygwin, and afterward autorebase
hung for several minutes until I cancelled it. I ran setup.exe again and
got these errors:
Package: 0/Perpetual
0p_000_autorebase.dash exit code 256
0p_update-info-dir.dash exit code 256
Package: z/Perpetual
zp_desktop-file-utils.sh exit code 256

zp_glib2.0.sh exit code 256
zp_hicolor-icon-theme.sh exit code 256
zp_shared-mime-info.sh exit code 256
I also can't launch mintty or the X server. I have tried rebooting my
PC, but that didn't help. [I am running Windows 10 64-bit.]
This is the end of the setup.log.full file:

[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.6.0-0.7
Hi folks,
I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.0-0.7.
The new locale stuff has been folded into the master branch. This
version adds the GNU-specific locale functions for converting strings to
numbers.
===
The 2.6.0 release is going to introducing the locale_t datatype, as well
as all functions related to locale_t locales and per-thread locales per
POSIX-1.2008.
So, rather than just providing a single, per-process locale, you can now
create new locales ("newlocale") and set it as locale for the current
thread ("uselocale") or use it directly with one of the new functions
taking a locale_t as parameter (i.e. isalpha_l).
The full list of new interfaces is:
newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale
isalnum_l, isalpha_l, isascii_l, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l,
isgraph_l, islower_l, isprint_l, ispunct_l, isspace_l, isupper_l,
iswalnum_l, iswalpha_l, iswblank_l, iswcntrl_l, iswctype_l,
iswdigit_l, iswgraph_l, iswlower_l, iswprint_l, iswpunct_l,
iswspace_l, iswupper_l, iswxdigit_l, isxdigit_l
toascii_l, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l,
wctrans_l, wctype_l
strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l
wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l
strfmon_l, strftime_l
strtol_l, stroll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l
strtod_l, strtofl, strtold_l
wcstol_l, wcsoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l
wcstod_l, wcstofl, wcstold_l
===
Since this is brand-new code, this code *will* have bugs.
It would be very helpful if interested developers and Cygwin package
maintainers could give this new stuff some good testing.
Other than that:
===
What changed:
-
- Drop support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2.
- Drop support for very old SUNWNFS filesystem.
- Further header file improvements in terms of feature test macros.
- Raise number of supported partitions per disk (for raw access) to 63.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-06/msg00136.html
- Add a workaround for filesystems not supporting the FileAllInformation
info class.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00350.html
- "nobody" account support for WinFSP.
Bug Fixes
-
- Make sure ldd(1) does not exit prematurely when enumerating DLLs.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-05/msg00185.html

Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00067.html
- Change blkcnt_t to signed type per POSIX.
- Fix definition of SSIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00179.html
- Fix transposing invalid chars in Windows filenames on relative paths.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00193.html
- Don't raise SIGTTIN from select(2)/poll(2).
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2016-07/msg4.html
- Fix truncl which was using the wrong FPU rounding mode.
Addresses: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128665
- Fix a regression in ioctl(fd, FIONREAD, ...) introduced in Cygwin 2.5.0.
This only affects 64 bit Cygwin.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg1.html
- Handle "clear screen" escpae sequence in console window more reliable.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00310.html
- Allow kill(pid, ) on zombies to return successfully, rather than
only kill(pid, 0), to align behaviour with POSIX requirements.

The above occurs if a Windows system call fails, i. e. LookupAccountSid probably returns with an error code outlining that it can't contact the DC. If you want to use your AD username even when disconnected from the DC, it really makes sense to generate an /etc/passwd entry for your user account, as well as /etc/group entries for the AD groups you're member in. To create these entries you can use the mkpasswd/mkgroup tools or, alternatively, the getent tool. Either way, obviously you must be connected to your DC when doing so. Then, if you're disconnected, Cygwin can easily fetch this information from the local files.

Re: /dev/ptmx fails with Azure accounts
Hi Russell,

This is as bad as I feared. Apart from the username and the Windows
home dir, there are no other information which could be fetched by
the usual means. Quite apart from the fact that there are no means to
*store* this information somewhere, other than creating an explicit
/etc/passwd and matching /etc/group entry.
But, anyway, I prepared some code for the Cygwin DLL to handle these
accounts even if no /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries are present. It
still needs some work, though, and for that I'd ask you to perform a
last test.
I attached a short testcase. We know that LookupAccountSid from the
user SID in the user token returns a name (RussellMora) and a domain
(AzureAD). However, the open question is if the reverse operation
LookupAccountName works as desired when feeding it the domain name
and the user name. Actually, for completeness the testcase tries it
two ways: Once only with the username, once with dom\username.
The reason for testing this is, if the reverse lookup works with only
the name we *could* go ahead and omit the domain from the Cygwin
username. I'm not yet sure if that's feasible, but it's certainly worth
a try.
Thanks,
Corinna

I do see a segfault now when I build Julia with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc 5.4.0-2, that did not occur with 4.9.2-2. Could 4.9.2-2 be reinstated as prev?
