[Tex/LaTex] Putting frame counter in the footer of the [beamer] presentation without a theme

beamerheader-footer

Could you please help me with the putting numbers of the current frame/page on the slides of my presentation. I don't use any theme (no need for one). I'd like to have the number in footer aligned to the right. This is what my current code looks like

\documentclass{beamer}
\author{Author name}
\title{Title of the presentation}
\subtitle{Subtitle of the presentation}
\institute{University name}
\date{October, 2013}


\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame title}
Some text
    \begin{itemize}
        \item one
        \item two       
    \end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Best Answer

Here is a solution for only the frame number, add the following to your preamble

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=1\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{framenumber}%
      \usebeamerfont{framenumber}\insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex}
    \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

for this output on your first slide:

Output

NOTE 1 If you don't want the total number just remove / \inserttotalframenumber from the previous code.

NOTE 2 If you are looking for a more sophisticated footer you can use this code in your preamble (from this answer):

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
    \pgfsetfillopacity{0}\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
      \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\pgfsetfillopacity{1}\insertshortauthor~~(\insertshortinstitute)
    \end{beamercolorbox}%
    \pgfsetfillopacity{0}\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
      \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\pgfsetfillopacity{1}\insertshorttitle
    \end{beamercolorbox}%
    \pgfsetfillopacity{0}\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
      \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\pgfsetfillopacity{1}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
      \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex}
    \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
