Well they finally did release 3.1.4 for 12.04 but nothing yet for 11.10 so it's easy to build. Make sure you have the build-deps installed, this should suffice -
1 complete command
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libnautilus-extension-dev \
libunique-3.0-dev libxml2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgtop2-dev uuid-dev \
intltool dpkg-dev checkinstall gnome-doc-utils
After installing deps extract & cd to your nautilus-actions-3.1.5 source folder, ie. your terminal prompt ends at nautilus-actions-3.1.5$, Example I have extracted in Downloads & cd'ed to it
doug@doug-XPS-M1330:~/Downloads/nautilus-actions-3.1.5$
Then at the terminal prompt copy & paste this, press enter
./configure --with-gtk=3 --with-default-io-provider=na-desktop --disable-gconf
If the configure goes well then follow with this (see at end of post for my current configure summary
make
When that's done install with this, make sure that synaptic or software-center are not open
sudo checkinstall --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no \
--deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default
That sould do it, you can move the nautilus-actions_3.1.5-1 deb package somewhere to keep if you wish & delete the source folder. Even though not really needed here I always run this after any checkinstall or make install, never hurts
sudo ldconfig

Nautilus Actions Extra provides a set of useful scripts for Nautilus 3. Among the included scripts/actions are: advanced search, open file with Gedit as user or root, set image as wallpaper, mount or unmount ISO files, verify checksum, convert image and audio files, batch rename (pyRenamer), add emblems and more.
be aware that it will install a lot of dependencies which are required by the various scripts it comes with.
To install Nautilus Actions Extra in Ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04, use the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dr3mro/nautilus-actions-extra sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions-extra
and restart nautilus using nautilus -q
or logout and re-login.
To launch Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool(to edit actions list) as root:
gksu nautilus-actions-config-tool

Just to keep in mind for 12.04, nautilus-gksu is no longer being built or provided in Debian/Ubnutu. So the ppa will need to either provide nautilus-gksu or remove the scripts that dep on it. Atm that hasn't been done but still early as far as the ppa.– dougDec 24, 2011 at 1:38

gksu(do) is still available to you, it's just that the Nautilus Actions Extra package continues to install dep on nautilus-gksu which will not be available in 12.04. You can, if you choose, manually install the extension & then either edit the current NAE 12.04 package or build the source without the dependency on the nautilus-gksu package. Filed a bug on NAE - bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus-actions-extra/+bug/917482 Do note that NAE is being split up into various packages so you could install elements that don't use the extension– dougJan 17, 2012 at 4:58
