[Tex/LaTex] slide numbering in Beamer class (Warsaw theme)

beamer

I'm using the beamer class and Warsaw theme. Is there any way to have slide numbering at the bottom of the page and on the left (as 2/10) in this theme?
Here is my code:

\documentclass{beamer}‎
‎‎‎‎‎\usetheme{Warsaw‎}‎‎
‎\begin{document}‎
‎‎\title{How to number the ...?‎} 
‎‎\author{My name‎} 
‎‎\date{06‎.06.2005} 
‎\begin{frame}‎
‎\titlepage‎
‎‎‎\end{frame}‎‎‎
‎‎\section{Intro‎}‎
‎\begin{frame}‎
‎‎\frametitle{There are many ...‎}‎ 
‎‎\end{frame}‎‎
‎\end{document}‎

You need to select an outer theme. \useoutertheme{infolines} should give you the desired format.

If you just want to include the numbers, you have to adopt the original code for the footline from the outer theme shadow which in turn uses the the format from the split theme.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\title{How to number the ...?}
\author{My name}
\date{06‎.06.2005}
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{shadow theme}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber\hfill\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle%
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\maketitle
\end{frame}
\section{Intro‎}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{There are many ...}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Note that by moving the \title etc into the preamble, this will also be used for the PDF metadata.
