You should be able to install the kernel header files for the currently running
kernel by running the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
In general, the kernel header packages are named linux-header-* where "*"
indicates the version & variant (generic, server, etc.).

This should cover another problem when: the running kernel is obsolete, meaning
it's not in the repository anymore neither its headers. So the best thing to do
is to update the kernel to last version in the repository.
linux-generic is a meta package to keep current version of the kernel & its
headers:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
Note: Depending on your Ubuntu edition, See if you need linux-lowlatency
(Ubuntu Studio), linux-signed-generic or linux-virtual.
