Title:
  "SMART is not enabled" in disks, according to smartctl it is

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When opening gnome-disks and selecting my internal hard disk, it tells
  me that "SMART is not enabled". After enabling it with smartctl, I
  could see its values using the command-line. Still gnome-disks keeps
  telling me that "SMART is not enabled", even after several reboots.

  $ sudo smartctl -d sat -i /dev/sda
  smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-3.8.0-29-generic] (local build)
