linux-image-generic should already install the associated linux-image-extra package, but the name has been changed to linux-modules-extra. Try this to upgrade to the latest kernel:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic

Then, reboot and try using the following command instead:

sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual

As @mchid said in the comments,

linux-image-extra-*

packages have been renamed

linux-modules-extra-*

    Where is this kind of thing documented? – bennlich Mar 10 '19 at 23:14
  • @bennlich exactly my thoughts, how are we supposed to know this? What is the reason for renaming them, and can't they do some backward compatibility or something? – VishnuVS Jan 22 '21 at 08:25
