I have a dell inspiron 17r which has an Intel hd graphics 4400 video card and I get this strange green tint whenever I do a normal boot of Ubuntu 14.04. However, if I connect to hdmi on my tv, the screen color is normal for the tv. Also, if I boot in recovery mode the screen color is normal. Can anybody tell me what's going on? I've update my grub and I still have the same issue. Or is there a way I can edit a script that allows me to start in failsafe graphics mode every time (I'm assuming this is how recovery mode starts)?

HELP!!!!! I CAN NOT USE WINDOWS ANYMORE. I AM AT MY WITS

I'm having the same issue with the same hardware: Color Problems on New Install of 14.04

A band-aid is to boot with kernel-mode-setting disabled (add nomodeset after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub). I'm pretty sure this disables hardware accelerated graphics, but if you're not doing graphics intensive work it at least fixes the colors.
