Screen stuck on Night Light Mode
The screen is perpetually pink, and it won't turn off. When I turn on night light, the color stays the same. I tried using redshift, and it doesn't work. Here's what I get when I type the command "redshift" into terminal:
Trying location provider `geoclue2'...
Using provider `geoclue2'.
Unable to start GeoClue client:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Geolocation disabled for UID 1000.
Unable to connect to GeoClue.
Unable to get location from provider.
Distressingly, the pink hue also appears when I boot to windows 10. Did Ubuntu just turn my screen pink because it stayed on in that mode for too long?
I'm on a lenovo laptop AMD-12 9700 Radeon ubuntu 17.10

Clicking the GUI (graphical user interface) power-off button solved a similar issue for me.
Clarification: That is, open the drop-down menu (upper right in Ubuntu 18.10 - I updated OS in the meantime) that contains wifi, screen dimming, battery status etc., and click the button that'll turn off your computer.
I guess either the screen dimming or the threat of immediate shutdown caused Ubuntu to re-evaluate its display decisions :-)
For me, the issue was that I had put my computer to sleep with night light on, and opened it again many hours later when night light should be off. The built-in display behaved as expected, but the external display was stuck with night light on. Flipping night light on & off didn't help, and mirroring displays didn't help, but threatening to turn the computer off did :-)
This is for a Thinkpad connected to a Dell display through a dock, Ubuntu 17.10.

Dang! :-) Does the clarification section help? I mean the shutdown/power-off button that you'd click with your mouse to turn off the computer, as opposed to shutting down from the terminal (see e.g. askubuntu.com/questions/187071/…) ... because if I recall correctly, I only tried the GUI option, and have no knowledge of whether writingshutdownwould have solved the problem.

Yeah, clear now. Convenient one! Thanks for clarification. As an alternative I found another option - I change the primary display, but revert as soon as I apply. That also seems to fix the problem.
