(versus from apt / software centre?) http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#tcl-tk So it looks like even if you just sudo apt install tk8.6 (and mabye tk8.6-blt2.5??) your ubuntu python might pick it up but not the sage python. So you should sudo apt install tk8.6-dev (and mabye tkblt-dev??) and then rebuild the sage python as per the instructions at the link above. tk packages in ubuntu 18.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tk&searchon=names&suite=bionic§ion=all Or perhaps there is someone else who can answer if one can tell Sage not to try to use tk for show(lines(... but to use another graphics toolkit.
