Open a new drawing.
Try to use circle, arc, or polygon tool. The starting "cross" never appears. Briefly a message will appear about an error in "Draft_Circle" in the status bar, but it disappears too fast to get the whole text.
The various forms of the line tool seem to work.

Re: Circle, Polygon ... and maybe others don't work in draft
Where did you get your FreeCAD from? All your posts are about problems that as far as I know do not exist in your version of FreeCAD. In short, that version does work, it could have been incorrectly packaged or compiled etc.
Since you are on Linux you could upgrade to a more recent FreeCAD. "Master" has had well over a thousand updates since you version was released. If you install the PPA (is actually for Ubuntu but others have found it works with at least some Mint versions) it will replace your current version, however if you compile, which is easy on Linux, you can have as many FreeCAD versions as you like, at once. If you follow master or use the PPA versions, any bugs would be very likely to get fixed quickly. Bugs are almost never going to be fixed in your now very old, release version.
Also regarding the error message you can't read in time,
turn on Report View. Go to view menu ...views..
go to Edit menu...Preferences, General ...Output tab...make sure both Python outputs are redirected to reportview.
