Hi :) I found it extremely smooth on most machines. 2 gave me a bit of trouble mostly because i had to interrupt their process and tried to resume later. Both claimed they couldn't resume the process and would stay at the 10.04 although 1 of those had actually made it as far as 12.04 and just needed a little "fix broken packages" and i finished up with a tidy-up using Janitor in Ubuntu Tweaks. The other one is still giving me a little grief but is happy in 10.04. I just never get a chance to sit at the machine. I might set it to run a few things overnight one night, if i remember.
Hmm, actually thinking about it that one was a 10.10 and really should not have skipped all the intermediate 6monthlies. LTS to LTS has always been fine for me. 8.04 to 10.04 was fine on the 1 machine i tried it on. 10.04 to 12.04 has been fine on about 90% of machines i've tried. After doing the upgrade you would be wise to run through Medibuntu again to get the multimedia extras. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu Also you might like to try these sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak sudo apt-get install xbmc sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-docI couldn't find the "Unity Tweaks" but if you can find it please let me know how to install it as i had great fun with it on the experimental machine i first tried the upgrade on. Ubuntu Tweaks is really useful. Xbmc is a great movie player. I much prefer it too even Vlc now but it starts up in full screen mode trying to change your desktop into a dedicated dvd-player. Hunt the settings to find how to get it into "windowed mode" or before opening it attack it's User Profile. I always forget and then freak out and hope my boss doesn't suddenly appear. Openshot is a movie editor but i haven't used it yet. I don't know if it's the best or not. Someone else was talking about Blender. The main problem i had with the upgrade is that it wanted to download tons of updates and upgrades and new packages from the internet. I didn't get a chance to see if i could do the upgrade from a 12.04 Cd (which was a bit dumb but the office has unlimited broadband (well Adsl) so it didn't really hurt).
