Go to menu "View > Panels" and tick on the option "Python Console", then just copy and paste those lines there and press enter two times.

Ok I got it.
the problem is that I do not know why, there was some content from an old instantiation in the /usr/lib/freecad/Mod/
when I cleaned the contents of the folder and reinstalled Freecad, it already worked.
I thought I had cleaned all Freecad folders, but after all I had not ...

Did you ever use the FreeCAD Community extras PPA to install some add-ons on that system?

Yes, but a long time ago.

Jim asked because the old freecad-extras-* packages did install in /usr/lib/freecad/Mod/.

If you upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 or older to a newer version instead of making a clean new Ubuntu install, then they most probably were still installed after the migration.

That's why I've learnt to never trust in a distribution upgrade. Since then, I've always been installing from a formatted drive and that's also why I'm still on Ubuntu 16.04 'cause is harsh to do all the things I need to do to bring back all my installations an configurations from a clean install.
At least for those who do use linux heavily, our systems are all full of things that has been configured by hand over the years, software installed in a particular way with it's configurations all customized. A distro upgrade always leave a mess behind it and sometimes it take us months or years to discover why something is not working how it should be because things get hidden and I can't remember every customization I've done. In fact, I even don't remember what I ate yesterday!... Maybe those who have a better memory than I do, deal better with this kind of thing though...
