Earlier I mistakenly stopped nixos-rebuild in the middle. Since then nixos-rebuild ends on the line
restarting sysinit-reactivation.target
I tried running nixos-generate-config, but when I checked my configuration, the hardware configuration was changed from the one specific to my computer to the not-detected.nix file. Also after rebooting, my mouse cursor is a square (the texture is missing).
What to do now?
Share your config, and run journalctl -f during your rebuild and share the logs. Rebooting and sharing journalctl --boot would be nice too.
You can probably just reset to an older generation if you roughly know when things started going wrong. Switching to a different generation is an atomic operation, so you’re not in some half-completed state or anything, your new config is just broken; the activation script fails halfway through (which is why I’d like to see your logs, they will tell us what fails).
I’d recommend keeping your config in git in the future so you know what changes you made.
And don’t worry about the not-detected thing, aiui that is expected on bare metal, it only “detects” VMs and such, on bare metal that module is imported to cover any “not-detected” hardware, regardless of whether it understands anything else about your system. You only need to watch out that it didn’t mess with your filesystem association, but normally that’s fine.
Unless you edited the file by hand of course, in which case you’ll need to re-add that configuration, but to a different file this time.
I don’t think the problem is in the configuration. I was just changing between cinnamon and gnome and just pressed ctrl-c by accident. I have gone back to two different earlier generations and the same can be said. Rebuilding ends abruptly and getting the config doesn’t work.

Yeah, you’re only capturing the bit before the activation script runs there, could you share the rest? If you’re running into limits e.g. a gist would do.
Could you get that with -x as well? It’s not showing the units starting/stopping, so hard to see what’s happening - but from a glance that’s all working fine, just not doing much since nothing changed.
Anything string in particular you’re looking for in the boot?
Here’s from the switch.

Any failing units or other suspicious lines; but yeah, looking at those switch logs, everything’s working. Is your only visible issue the broken mouse cursor?
There are a couple of oddities in the logs but nothing unexpected given the situation. Here are a couple of select lines.

Further, when I run nixos-rebuild for the first time after booting, the following lines are printed.
the following new units were started: sysinit-reactivation.target, systemd-tmpfiles-resetup.service
I tried, as a test, to switch my desktop environment to cinnamon from Gnome, and after running nixos-rebuild, the whole screen went black (I could type, but it wasn’t a terminal) and after hanging I pressed ctrl-c, and after hanging again, I shut down the computer. When I opened it again, cinnamon was working and the configuration was changed. I guess systemd is not being switched over properly.
