Yes. Settings>USB connection mode. Little message from Sony: "MTP only 
for internal storage"...
On most of the Android phones you have the choice between USB mass 
storage mode and MTP mode. Most of the Android phone have a removable 
micro SD Card, also.
The Sony Xperia X lacks the software (USB utilities as you call them) to 
communicate in USB mass storage mode. The message in the Settings menu 
says: "MTP only for internal storage".
Therefore, since there are no removable micro SD card but instead a 
massive 25 Gig built-in internal mass storage, I have no choice but try 
to have MTP working. However, the KDE implementation of MTP just allows 
to read the files from the phone to the PC. It cannot write files from 
the PC to the phone. I can move the pictures I took on the phone to the PC.
But I cannot move 10 Gig of music from the PC to the phone and this is 
my problem.
I have received 5-6 answers to my my request besides yours. Most of them 
suggest to use Bluetooth to send my music to my phone. However sending 
10 Gig via Bluetooth will last several hours. I do not consider to go 
that way. It is much faster to dump the 10 Gig of music stored on my 
Linux PC to a USB key, transfer it to a Windoze computer, connect the 
phone to the Windoze computer in MTP mode and send the 10 Gigs of music 
from the Windoze PC to the phone.
All this because read/write is not enable in some KDE MTP communication 
program part of camera! (Only read...)
I wish I could have met with developers of KDE on this mailing list to 
fix that little problem. It seems that it is a too much exclusive club. 
Meanwhile I will continue to use a Windoze computer to make the bridge 
between the Sony Xperia S and Linux.
Shame on us!
