System not running right

[Scott Blair]

There were no errors on the memory test, let it run for a couple of hours.
here is the output:
scott at main:~⟫ sudo smartctl -t short /dev/sda
[sudo] password for scott:
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.13.0-63-generic] (local build)

SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.
(override with '-T permissive' option)
scott at main:~⟫

I enabled smart on it before the reboot, it didn't stick, is that normal?
