Hi again! I have allmost solved the issue whit NavStars plugin.
Seemes like it's Possible to install from deb pacages for ubuntu12.04.1

Stellarium data files
Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real-time. With Stellarium, you
really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.
.
This package contains data files required by Stellarium. They include
textures, star catalogues and translations.

real-time photo-realistic sky generator
Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real-time. With Stellarium, you
really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.
.
Some features:
- default star catalogue with over 600 thousand stars,
- information about the brightest stars (spectral type, distance, etc.),
- downloadable star catalogue extensions, for up to 210 million stars,
- all New General Catalogue (NGC) objects,
- images of almost all Messier objects and the Milky Way,
- real time positions of the planets and their satellites,
- 13 different cultures with their constellations,
- artistic illustrations of the 88 Western constellations,
- very realistic atmosphere, sunrise and sunset,
- 7 panoramic landscapes (more can be made or downloaded from the website),
- scripting with ECMAScript,
- plug-in support: Stellarium comes with 8 plug-ins by default, including:
- artificial satellites plug-in (updated from an on-line TLE database),
- ocular simulation plug-in (shows how objects look like in a given ocular),
- Solar System editor plug-in (imports comet and asteroid data from the MPC),
- telescope control plug-in (Meade LX200 and Celestron NexStar compatible).
.
Stellarium should not be used for very high accurate calculation or ephemerids
like eclipse predictions. However, it is the ideal program to prepare an
observation evening with naked eye, binocular, or small telescope.

Start planetarium/stellarium as usual by clicking the icon in startbar. press F2 or cklick configuration window icon in stellarium.
select the plugin tab and select Navigational Stars, check option Load at upstart. Do that for another plugin for example Compass Marks.
Just select Load at upstart for Navigational Stars and then exit program and start again can cause problem (Segmentation fault (core dumped)).

Update:
Code from download script for debs I installed to update stellarium:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
wget -c http://ppa.launchpad.net/stellarium/stellarium-releases/ubuntu/pool/main/s/stellarium/stellarium-data_0.12.6-1ubuntu1~ppa0~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb

I did not used the script my self. Use these links to browse option for ubuntu package for stellarium:
