Description Christopher Pereira 2015-10-11 20:51:30 UTC 
When importing VMs from a StorageDomain you may get a "Cannot import VM. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system" error.

Workarround is to:
- Detach Storage Domain
- Find OVF files on Storage Domain: find|grep meta|xargs -i_ grep OVF _ -l
- Edit this OVF volume files and change their <DefaultDisplayType> to 1 (or a supported value)
- Reattach Storage Domain so OVF_STORE files are re-read.

Maybe this patch fixes this problem (not sure, I'm on 3.6-rc1):

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Moving to virt - display types are their domain.
