"Is it safe?" - Well it should be, but things can happen, so this question is not really answerable. – guntbert Nov 12 '14 at 14:58

Have you tried the usual " do-release-upgrade " - checkout this article for the many ways to upgrade ubuntu.
Upgrading using the command line:
Run do-release-upgrade in a terminal
sudo do-release-upgrade
If fails edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=lts:
nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
Then run again the above command:
sudo do-release-upgrade

That reply was the most useful for me, could only use the shell and was stuck updating from lts to normal release. – David V. Dec 25 '14 at 23:11

-Click Software & Updates
-Select the 3rd Tab called Updates
-Select For any new version from the Notify me of a new Ubuntu version drop-down
-Close the Software & Updates tool
-Open the Dash

-When the Update Manager opens, it should inform you that a new release is available

-Follow the on-screen instructions
I hope this helped
