Bug Description
Both snap and lightdm haven't worked on my laptop for a while. Both work on my desktop without issue. The only difference I can find is that my laptop has an NVIDIA gpu while my desktop has an AMD GPU. This could account for the lightdm issues: whenever I try to use lightdm instead of gdm3, I get stuck in an infinite login loop. But it shouldn't account for the snap not functioning at all.

Thank you for reporting this bug!
It seems the behavior you're describing is related to snap and lightdm and not to ubuntu- advantage- tools. And the traceback in the ubuntu- advantage. log seems due to a snap error.
So I'm going to assign this to the snap and lightdm packages, and I'll mark it Invalid for ubuntu- advantage- tools. Feel free to change the status if you discover it is a bug in the ubuntu- advantage- tools package.
As an aside: It appears you have jammy-proposed enabled, which generally isn't recommended for normal use and may be unstable. I can tell because ubuntu- advantage- tools 27.11.3~22.04.1 is still in -proposed and hasn't been released to -updates yet.
