"Authentication is required to update SMART data from" in 16.04

I upgraded to 16.04 [Ubuntu Gnome]. I am using a Lenovo Y700 with a GTX960M.

After suspend or closing the lid I ended locked outside the login after that message appeared.
It happened twice today, I suspect the problem arises when closing the lid, not when using the suspend button hitting alt button while hitting the power button onscreen.
Using open source NVIDIA version 364.19 nvidia-364.

It's caused by lm-sensors.
Click on the thermometer indicator (which is lm-sensors) -> Preferences -> Providers.
Then untick 'Enable support of udisks2'. That seems to make it go away. (Source)
